Review of Agora (2009) by Jayakrishnan R — 22 Nov 2016
Really enjoyed the historical biopic based on Hypatia, a woman mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher in the 4th century Egypt. She is probably among the earliest recorded woman scientist and times she lived in were interesting.
A time when Rome & its Imperial authority were on the decline, it was the time of the rise of Christianity & it's interesting to see the brutality which was employed by each of the religions against each other.
The movie depends on intelligent & well researched story, beautiful visuals and great performances instead of sensationalizing action which is the norm with historical epic.
